The accused killers laughed.

Cops say they murdered two Long Island teenagers in 2016.

And prosecutors are waiting to hear from the U.S. Justice Department on whether they can seek the death penalty.

Detectives say the five are members of the blood-lusting street gang MS-13.

In the Long Island courtroom, the quintet laughed and grinned throughout the proceedings, the New York Post reported.

The family of one of their alleged 16-year-old victims looked on mortified.

Shackled Enrique Portillo, Alexi Saenz and Jairo Saenz allegedly butchered best friends Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas, 16. The two teens were bludgeoned then hacked to death with machetes on their way home from school.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has yet to determine whether or not prosecutors can bring a capital case against Portillo, Saenz and Saenz.

That would mean the trio could get the needle at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind., where Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed.

Two other gang members — Mario Aguilar-Lopez and Jose Suare — were also in court charged with murdering a rival gangster. They do not face the death penalty.

According to the Post, MS-13 — which started in the wake of the civil war in El Salvador and spread to the U.S. — is responsible for 30 homicides in Long Island alone since 2016.

Mickens’ mother wants her beloved girl’s killers to get the needle.

“God help me, but I do because they didn’t have any empathy for my daughter. They just took her just like that. They were the judge and they were the jury,” Elizabeth Alvarado told New York Newsday.
